Great point honestly. I was only writing that comment from the perspective of answering troubleshooting centric questions. Not everyone who browses the internet has the same ability to see though, and while I imagine screen readers have some ability to process images (I've never used one so I don't know specifically), I can only assume that actual text is much easier.

I know that text for me is much easier than screenshots, cause I've adjusted the font size and type in my browser to suit my preferences. Can't do that for an image.

Conversely, Kirby is my favorite series for the same reason.

If it's for textual information, I'm personally a fan of covering all bases. Screenshot, link to site, and quoted relevant text.

Webpages can change, but screenshots can stop being hosted with no warning and any text in screenshot form can't easily be copy and pasted. Quoted text is essentially the longterm accessible failsafe. Text in comments tends to last much longer than images or links.

That is indeed the case, though there's more to those numbers. Thos are numbers for prior authorization denials, but they're also from a report focused on Medicare Advantage plans for elderly and disabled folks (you know, the people who would be most fucked over by denials). Pulled from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Thompson_(businessman)

The investigation revealed that in 2019, UHC's prior authorization denial rate was 8.7%. Thompson became CEO in 2021, and by 2022 the rate of denial had increased to 22.7%.

As an added bonus, there's also this insanity that he tried to push through:

In 2021, Thompson was criticized in an open letter from the American Hospital Association regarding a plan from UnitedHealthcare to start denying payment for what it deemed non-critical visits to hospital emergency rooms. UnitedHealthcare responded by delaying rollout of the change.

I wonder if UHC has ever denied coverage to victims of gunshot wounds?

What's the deal with them? Only NZXT component i've had is my current case, which has awful airflow (old model of H710 I think, bought 5 ish years ago).

Sure, but have you ever tried to disarm a crab and lived to tell the tale?

~~It's also noteworthy that there's situations where a persom could easily see and owl do a full 360 (and more) if the owl has it's head turned one way and then turns it the other.~~

~~270 in each direction for a total of 540 and all that.~~

Edit: I just double checked, and it's 270 degrees total, not each direction.

I feel lied to.

Granted, it was 110c, but it was also only 6 minutes at that temp for Vladimir Ladyzhensky to die. I stand by my statement. 100c air temperature is immediately life threatening.

Are we talking about the ambient temperature in the room or something else? Cause room temperature at 100c is immediately life threatening.

For what it's worth, they are also available on Amazon. I'd be willing to guess they're available on other online stores, so all hope may not be lost for you.
